SYVERTSEN, EILEEN KATHY, 55 - of Galloway, went home to be with the Lord, peacefully at home, surrounded by family and friends on January 16, 2008. She was born on May 28, 1952, on Long Island, NY. She received a BA in Religion and Philosophy from The Kings College, Briarcliff Manor, NY in 1974, where she met her husband, Allen Syvertsen (Big Al) of 33 years. Eileen was an active member of Beacon Evangelical Free Church in Galloway. She enjoyed reading, watching the NY Mets, and preserving memories through scrapbooking. She also served the women of her church through a counseling ministry that encouraged them in their walk with the Lord. Other activities included MOPS, VBS, and Moms in Touch. Her favorite vacation spot was Camp Spofford, NH where she went every summer for more than 25 years. She loved her family and spending time with her husband and daughters and new granddaughter. Most of all Eileen loved to share her faith in Jesus Christ. Through her three year battle with cancer, Eileen took every opportunity to reach out to the many care givers and patients that crossed her path. This past October she spoke at a "Pink Rally" and her message was that she woke up each day and was thankful for all that God had given her. She quoted John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His One and Only son that whoever believes in Him will not perish (or die) but have eternal life". Eileen is survived by her daughters: Sheryl (Ryan) Creeden and granddaughter, Sydney Grace, of East Greenville, PA; Rachel and Lindsey Syvertsen, of Galloway; and her husband, Pastor Al Syvertsen of Galloway. She is also survived by her parents, Norman and Marian Little, her sisters Lee Romer and Kathy Hayes, and their children of Jacksonville, Florida. She was predeceased by her mother, Rita Little, of Long Island, NY. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that donations be made out to Beacon Evangelical Free Church, Galloway, NJ. Visitation with the family will be held on Sunday afternoon, January 20th, from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. with a service at 5 p.m. at Beacon Evangelical Free Church 420 S. 6th Avenue, Galloway Township. Those wishing to attend the graveside service may gather at the church on Monday, January 21st at 10:15 a.m. for the funeral procession to Leeds Point Community Church Cemetery. Arrangements are entrusted to and written condolences may be left for the family at: http://www.adams-perfect.com/
